Thanks for all of the really helpful responses. While the original message 2 years ago only garnered 2 responses, it seems from all of the recent responses that this idea is something that should be peddled as a campaign over at Kickstarter. In the last 3 years since I have purchased over...

One of these days I'll try and make it to Chicago Music Exchange. The hard part is going without the wife tagging along and ruining the day.

Yep, from the fly-over state of Illinois. There is a Guitar Center in Davenport,IA (about a 25 minute drive) and then probably the next closest place would be in Peoria,IL(1 hr drive). The were some closer medium sized music stores that folded during Covid. The last time I went into a music...

Then I'll probably end up buying that guitar at the store. Your suggestion is a good one and the most logical.

1/3 of the price of an unfinished neck? I am talking about the feel of the neck in your hands with the different profile, so a nut isn't needed. The descriptions and visual images of the different neck profiles are helpful, but until your holding the shape in your hands you don't really know if...

I was just thinking about this today, so I did a quick search and saw that idea/request was shot down quickly in this post. Apart from ordering a neck with a SRV, 59 Roundback or Wolfgang profile to see if i like it, I could see how this could be beneficial for making potential purchases. What...

This is what it looked like in the showcase on the Warmoth site. I intend on using a pickup ring instead of a pickguard for the neck pickup.

Showcase.

Not a bad purchase for $230.

Purchased this Warmoth Redwood/Mahogany telecaster earlier this year. Raw I used Tung Oil, then several thin layers of Tru-Oil. What it looks like in my shop Outside: I am close to installing a Gotoh Vintage Telecaster Bridge that I purchased from Warmoth as well. Thinking of installing...

Congrats Ragamuffin! Definitely wouldn't have entered this month if I knew THAT guitar was going to be an entry. I've been following your thread on all of the build.

Great Job! I was thinking about getting those SD P-Rails for my new Velocity project, but I think I'll heed your advice and look for something different.

Yes.
